Data organisation and documentation

Those who document understand! Do you want your data to be reused later? Do you work in a team? Is your research work likely to be interrupted at some point? Whether for yourself or for others, good organisation and documentation of your research data makes your work easier and increases traceability.

In this module, you will learn about various tools and techniques that will help you manage your data effectively. You will also gain an overview of the topics of metadata and versioning. In the practical part, you will further develop your own data organisation strategies. Using a template, you will develop a style guide for documenting the standards you have set for yourself.
